Battlefield Tri-hard

[Warsaw]

Cool, I love using helicopters so mobile AA getting a nerf is welcome in my eyes.

It's actually not. Now the jets can just rape and not worry about anything. As a helo pilot, you could stay alive if you flew smart. With the range on the AA gone, jets can destroy you with missiles before they even get into your firing distance. It's pretty bullshit.

WTB dino hoard mode.

Every other game has zombies, BF should show them all up and add dino support.

I think Conker's Bad Fur Day had dino-support. These developers need to get with the times.

Dino mode is something I imagine would be better suited for a Bad Company game.

Aftermath premiere trailer:



Here are some details:

• Two maps (of four) known so far: Epicenter and Markaz Market, both are urban environments
• In Conquest mode there are helicopters on the map, this way you can get on top of the sky scrapers and snipe down from up there. Of course you are easy prey for enemy helicopters.
• New vehicles are modified civilian cars, reinforced with steel plates and so on for a makeshift look
• New game mode is called Scavenger, is infantry only
• Players start only with a pistol of their choice. Weapons spawn on random locations on the map with very limited ammo and there are three categories to them. Lvl 1 weapons don't have any attachments, lvl 2 – 3 guns do
• You still have to capture flags but you can't spawn on them
• Crossbow is a gadget all classes can use, taking the place of the grenade launcher, C4, RPG/Stinger or MAV/TUGS
• Has four different ammo types: An explosive bolt,, a long-range bolt, a detection bolt (on impact it behaves like the TUGS and reveals enemies on the minimap), and a close-range bolt. After one shot you have to do a lengthy reload.

DICE has listed Battlefield 3: Aftermath for a November 27 release for PlayStation Premium members, most likely meaning a December 4 release for Xbox 360 and PC Premium members, a December 11 release for non-Premium PS3 users and a December 18 for non-Premium Xbox 360 and PC users. Aftermath is included in all Premium memberships but can be purchased individually for $14.99 USD or 1200 MS points.

Now from the DICE blog:

Modified vehicles showcase ingenuity and firepower

In the aftermath of the earthquake, a lot of the available vehicles are smashed up beyond recognition. To keep them in fighting shape, the crafty soldiers have modified them heavily to create new weapon platforms with what they have at hand. This means adding armor, patching up gaping holes, adding weapons platforms, and even retrofitting a civilian vehicle to create something that fills the role of troop transport.


The “Phoenix” (US) and the “Barsuk” (for the Russian team, meaning “badger”) is a light transport where a grenade machine launcher has been fitted at the back in conjunction with the already existing machine gun on top, making it a ride that will carry troops quickly from A to B while also being able to dish out explosive damage to enemy vehicles and structures and fend off approaching infantry.


Finally, there’s the “Rhino” – originally a completely civilian vehicle, but in Aftermath, you have to make do with what you can get your bandaged hands on. This formerly civilian van has been retrofitted with armor and a remote controlled machine gun controlled by the driver to turn it into a medium heavy troop transport.


In addition to these three new vehicles in Aftermath, depending on the game mode you’ll also see a lot of returning vehicles from the base game, including helicopters and tanks.

Those aftermath player models would be great for a dino mode

I'd totally be down for a dino horde mode.

Also this looks like it might be fun.

Yup, glad I took the smart route and didn't buy Premium. Wasn't interested at all in Close Quarters, and Aftermath looks like a gametype twist of Close Quarters style play.

Dino mode exclusive to Premium? I'd be all over that shit. Do you hear me EA? Stop making rehashed shit and make something new and exciting!

Also, if anyone is a BF3 Premium member is interested in purchasing Medal of Honor: Warfighter, then you can get 50% off Warfighter on Origin if you click here.

That's a fair saving, pretty much refunds most of the price of premium there. Thanks.
